Methods of reducing blood pressure levels in hypertensive subjects through the identification of subjects with an allele and/or genotype at a gene locus that positively correlates with improved success in reducing blood pressure levels, as compared to other alleles and/or genotypes at the same gene locus, and through the engagement of these subjects in exercise training for a period of time sufficient for the reduction of the subjects blood pressure levels.
The present invention is directed to oxygen sensing. The present invention provides methods for correcting (or providing for) oxygen sensing in cells. Preferably, the methods involve supplying the SDHD gene or cybS protein, or any of the other components of the mitochondrial complex II cytochrome b oxygen sensing complex in an amount which restores oxygen sensing to affected cells, and thus facilitates normoxic conditions. More specifically, the present invention relates to mutations in the SDHD gene in human cancers and their use in the diagnosis and prognosis of mammalian cancer.

Abstract:
A method of increasing sodium excretion levels in a hypertensive subject by identifying a subject having an II genotype for an angiotensin converting enzyme gene, and engaging the subject in limited exercise training for a period of time sufficient to increase the subjects sodium excretion levels.

Abstract:
Allelic variations in the genes PLEKHA1 and LOC387715 are identified herein as risk factor for Age Related Maculopathy (ARM). A method is therefore provided for identifying a risk of development of ARM in an individual that comprises identification of allelic variations in PLEKHA1 and/or LOC387715. Related apparatus, such as an array, are identified as being useful in implementing those methods.
